Installing the Sametime Bandwidth Manager application

Install the IBM® Sametime® Bandwidth Manager application.

Procedure

  1. On the computer where you installed IBM WebSphere® Application Server 7, log on as root (Linux) or the system administrator (Windows).
  2. Navigate to the directory where you extracted the Sametime Bandwidth Manager installation package.
  3. Navigate to the BandwidthManager subdirectory and run the following command to install the Bandwidth Manager:
    • Linux
      WAS_install_root/profiles/Profile_name/bin/ws_ant.sh -Dinstall.db=true
      where:
      • Profile_name is the WebSphere Application Server profile name of the Deployment Manager.
      • WAS_install_root is the root directory where WebSphere Application Server is installed. In Linux it is typically /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer.
      For example:
      /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/AppServerProfile/bin/ws_ant.sh -Dinstall.db=true
    • Microsoft Windows
      WAS_install_root\profiles\Profile_name\bin\ws_ant.bat -Dinstall.db=true
      where:
      • Profile_name is the WebSphere Application Server profile name where the Bandwidth Manager application will be installed, typically "AppServerProfile".
      • WAS_install_root is the root directory where WebSphere Application Server is installed. In Windows this is typically C:\Program Files\WebSphere\AppServer.
        Attention: Do not use DOS-shortened versions of directory names. You can specify Program Files and include the blank space in the path, if you enter the path in quotes.
      For example:
      "C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\AppServerProfile\bin\ws_ant.bat" -Dinstall.db=true
    When -Dinstall.db is set to true, the install script drops any existing Bandwidth Manager tables and then creates clean tables in the database. If -Dinstall.db is set to false or is omitted, the install script does not drop or create Bandwidth Manager tables in the database, and any existing data is retained.
    Note: Do not copy and paste the paths and parameters, because control characters might inadvertently be included in the command. For best results, type the command.

Results

The installation process might take up to 10 minutes. During installation, you might see failures indicated; for example, a message stating that a SQL command could not be executed. This is expected behavior, because the installation program does not verify that tables exist in the database before attempting to delete them.
